One day, an Australian fisherman by the name of Alfonse Attard took his Jack Russell with him on a trip out to sea to have some fun in the water. During the time that they were in the boat, the water began to leak, which led to the boat capsizing, which in turn resulted in Attard and his dog being tossed into the lake.
Thankfully, Attard was spotted by Trever Borg and his father Laurie, two other fishermen, who made the decision to assist him when they saw him in the middle of nowhere. They were fortunate enough to be able to bring him to safety on land, but once there, he started to freak out and told them about his dog, who has been his companion for nearly 18 years.
